Middle Farm Way - Poundbury Having left the Briport Road further west as a detour, Middle Farm Way now leads back to a roundabout onto the same road but nearer Dorchester. There are many new houses being built along its way.

Dorchester

Charminster old Dorchester road. This used to be the main road from Charminster to Dorchester when the main roads kept to higher ground to avoid marshy land on the flood plain of the River Frome. A new road was built centuries ago on a raised causeway across the meadows and it became the A37 running south of the village. This is now the C12 to Sherborne, straight , fast and notorious for road deaths.
